Oh dear!
Please ask them to issue it in English.
Is it absolutely necessary to have the quotes in English?
We can make an extra effort to get all the quotes in English, if it's required. The thing is that we're short on time and getting a simple quote from a local company usually means that someone from the local team has to lose half day of work to get the quote.
We issue donation receipts, receipts etc. in English as well, so should
a company in Nicaragua, no?
Receipts are a whole different story. By law, and AFAIK, those must be issued in cordobas and in Spanish.

That's a good question...
I usually think positive, thus, I assume (hope?) that people at the
Finanzamt will accept a printout (or PDF) that consists of both the
Spanish and German/English translation of text as appendix to the
quote/invoice.
Regards,
Joey
